With a 5-2 record and tied for first place in the NFC West, the Los Angeles Rams figure to be among the buyers at this year’s NFL trade deadline.
One position they could potentially look to upgrade is cornerback. The team has been without Ahkello Witherspoon since Week 2 when he suffered a broken clavicle, and they could use some more depth at the position.
According to Dianna Russini of The Athletic, the Rams are among the teams interested in adding cornerback help at the trade deadline:
League sources tell me the following about the trade deadline:
The Ravens, Colts, Lions and Rams are making calls for a corner.
The Rams have been relying on Cobie Durant and Emmanuel Forbes Jr. as their primary corners this season, with Darious Williams and Tre Brown filling key backup roles.
It isn’t clear which cornerbacks might be available at the trade deadline, but the Seattle Seahawks’ Riq Woolen, New Orleans Saints’ Alontae Taylor, New York Jets’ Michael Carter II and Tennessee Titans’ Roger McCreary have been mentioned as possible candidates.
The Rams have been aggressive at the trade deadline in previous seasons, having acquired the likes of Jalen Ramsey and Von Miller, and time will tell if they have another move up their sleeves this year.
The NFL trade deadline is Tuesday, Nov. 4, at 1 p.m. PT.
Sean McVay explains why Puka Nacua injury can be ‘blessing in disguise’ for Rams
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua got off to a historic start to the 2025 season before going down with an ankle injury early in the team’s Week 6 win over the Baltimore Ravens.
While a player like Nacua being out of the lineup is never ideal, Rams head coach Sean McVay explained how it actually could have been a blessing in disguise.
“I think what ended up happening is sometimes these things that are challenges can be blessings in disguise. What I mean by that is we’re always going to have Puka. When he’s up, as a focal point, but also, hey let’s let’s not in the meantime lose sight of, you know, we’ve got Puka, we’ve got Davante [Adams] but we’ve got these other players that we want to take advantage of. We’ve got these great players that we want to take advantage of them, and I thought that was illustrated by being able to have multiple personnel groupings, multiple guys involved, and where they’ve got some plays where they could maybe be the primary in a progression. Then it allows those other guys to be a little bit fresher.”
